The Packers will be without right tackle Bryan Bulaga for their season opener on Sunday.

Bulaga returned to practice this week after hurting his ankle in August, but didn’t get the green light to suit up for the home game against the Seahawks. Kyle Murphy will get the start in Bulaga’s place while right guard Jahri Evans will be making his first regular season start for the team.

On the Seattle side, they’ll kick off the season without the help of running back Thomas Rawls. Rawls was listed as questionable with an ankle injury and indications were that he’d miss the game.

Eddie Lacy is expected to start in his return to Green Bay and seventh-round pick Chris Carson will likely get a chance to build on his good preseason in his first regular season action.

Hopefully murphy is as adept at the packer tradition of locking the hands onto the opposing player’s sleeves as bulaga and the rest of his ilk are. lol it’s amazing watching that first packer drive. Every play, grab some seachicken jersey and hold on tight.

And bonus: the refs just stole a touchdown from seattle. I wonder what it’s like to be a fan of a team that’s the equivalent of a van with a handicapped sticker on it.
